What I can say about this car though is there is no car faster than it in our club. This thing moves.
What ESC are you using now Greg?

GPMRA board- Any news on an indoor facility?

I picked up Dwayne Flodell's old touring stock esc and motor.
Running his Orca esc with my Ballistic 13.5. I was passing everybody on the straight. The infield however was a different matter.

It's a bit of a step up my old GTB's and significantly lighter. My Superstock is no longer the overweight tank it used to be.

Well unfortunately Ty didnt make the bump but he did put on an excellent effort and did his best. We do have a new winner although it was an excellent battle to the very end Cody King is the new World Champion although only a couple of seconds behind was Hara who almost had it again but just could'nt pull it off. I would like to congradulate all of the drivers who had gone to the worlds and did thier best to show for thier countrys and for there sponsors, as this was a very hard week for all who had gone.

From what I can see of the race on neobuggy, I wish I would have come over to watch it. That is an unbelievably close finish after 60 minutes. Less than 2 seconds. Everybody else was 2 laps down from those guys, but except for the bottom 3 were all on the same lap. These guys are definitely on a different level compared to us.

I will have to check to see if there is a bulldog body for the RC8T at the store when I get back to work.

Yes Greg you should have, Brad and I were sitting on the edge of the couch and I am sure I woke up the neighbours with my screaming..lol (I got into it a bit I guess)

I am sure there is some video or picture on THE website, Neobuggy, RedRC.
